In his musical beginnings, Krawinkel had been in many bands, together with Stephan Remmler (The vocals in the band Trio). He played in the bands The Vampyre, MacBeats, Just Us, Cravinkel, George Meyer & Company as well as The Emsland Hillbillies. Then came the Wind band, shortly after Trio was renamed, and from 1981 he, together with Stephan Remmler and drummer Peter Behrens, celebrated their successes as well as largely shaping their sound. While Stephan Remmler in trio largely sang all the vocals, was the music of the song about half from the pen of Krawinkel.
During the break in musical partition, Trio participated in the band founded by Marius Müller-Westernhagen, as with lead. In 1993 he had his own solo album.
Krawinkel had operated his own music studio in his adopted home of Spain, near Seville. He was married to Monika Kölling and had a son. His wife Monika Kölling met Krawinkel in 1985, when he was with the trio feature film "Drei gegen Drei" turned to what Kölling for Komparserie was responsible.

Krawinkel is unmarried and lives mainly in the vicinity of Seville, but maintains a home in Berlin. From the music, he has largely withdrawn, and his hobby is, the Western riding after.
